let his native allies alone it would be the
worse for them. They lost no time in
swearing eternal friendship to their
powerful rival.
Stanley says that at his first meeting
with Tippu Tib he regarded him as the
most remarkable man he had met in
Africa. Itwas Tippu Tib and 200 of his
men who helped Stanley start down the
nknown Congo from Nyangwe, where
tn Livingstone and Cameron were de-
fcated in their purpose to. descend the
mysterious river. Twenty of the dusky
veauties of the great traders harem went
with him on this journey, his first trip
down the river which he was soon after
to bring completely under his control for
distance of $50 miles. Great changes
have been wrought by Tippu Tib along
these wooded river banks between
Nyangwe and Stanley Falls: Fierce
tribes, to avoid whom Stanley made long
detours, have been chased into the dense
forests, and ON the sites Of their once
populous villages have arisen the store

that of the Independent Congo State.

courses Of study, identical with the col

assistant professors, and eight instruct
ors. Twenty-nine students were en-

Of last years students, SO came from
Massachusetts, from New York, Q from

The vital idea of the Harvard Annex
is to secure for its students the advan-
tages of instruction in regular college
courses by the Harvard faculty, which is
the most numerous, and probably the
ablest, body of instructors gathered in
one locality anywhere In the United
States. The opportunities thus offered
by the annex are, and will remain,
unique. For next year the number of

In all the white enterprises in Central
Africa.
Only fifty-six years of age. Tippu Tib
has reached his commanding position by
sheer force of intellect, energy and
strength of character. The Arab traders,
who fear and obey him, despise him in
their hearts as man of low birth, for
Tippu Tib is of negroloid blood, which
means that he comes of an admixture of
the East coast tribes and has also little
Arab blood in his veins. Twenty-six
years ago he set out for Central Africa
with a very modest capital to begin life
a. an ivory trader. He has done what
great railroad magnates in America do
when they bring road after road under
their management until they control
great channels of trade. As his capital
grew he sent his agents far and wide to
all the elephant-hunting tribes, estab-
lished his stations along the great lakes,
pushed hundreds of miles beyond them
to the Upper Congo, made contracts with
many chiefs to sell him all their ivory,
bullied others into acceding to his de-
mands, and so it came about in time that
he practically monopolized nearly oil the
sources of ivory production in Central
Africa.
Cameron first introduced Tippu Tib
to the civilized world. 1t was thirteen
years ago that Cameron described him
as the greatest dandy he had met among
the traders of Africa At Tippu Tbs
home in Kasongo, Cameron says that
large gangs of slaves walking about in
chains met his eyes at every turn; for
Tippu Tib dealt also in human merchan-
disc and many simple African village
has been aroused from its peaceful pur-
suits by the cruel shouts of Tippu Tbs
ruthless soldier slaves, who left the scene
smoking ruin and dragged away into
captivity those they did not kill. Cam
eron first saw Tippu Tib when he visited
Nyangwe in high dudgeon, and told the

In the great expedition which Stanley
is now leading into Central Africa is
coal-black man Of medium height and
of dignified and courtly bearing, who is
one of the most remarkable men in
Africa. He is the greatest ivory trader
in the world. He is also the richest man
between Zanzibar and the Atlantic ocean,
and his word is absolute law over q
greater extent of territory than is con-
trolled by any, save four or five of the
most powerful native sovereigns. This
man is Tippu Tib, of whom much has
been written in the books and reports OF
Cameron, Stanley, Van Gele, Lenz and
others. Nowadays there is scarcely a
newspaper allusion to the Congo State
or the Stanley expedition that does not
mention Tippu Tib, and, for good or i'll,
he is destined to figure very prominently
